Welcome to the OPTIMIST California South District 41 website!


This site is dedicated to improving communications among our 34 Optimist Clubs and more than 1,200 members. If you are not a member and would like to be, we'd like to have you join us. What differentiates Optimist Clubs from any other volunteer opportunity is simple. Optimists take their upbeat approach and work every day to make a difference for themselves and for the people around them.

Optimists are people who believe that through positive action in their communities they can create a better tomorrow. We believe that a positive approach can make all the difference in the world. Through hands-on community and youth programs, Optimists brighten spirits and create hope and confidence in the future. The Optimist Creed provides proof of the Optimists' philosophy. Along with the Optimists' motto, "Bringing out the best in kid's," comes the commitment to help, educate, inspire, and believe in tomorrow's future--our young people.

Optimists believe that by investing in youth, we can ensure a better tomorrow. Optimist Club members receive as much as they give. Optimists have endless opportunities to gain leadership experience and to grow personally and professionally. Optimists value the social and business relationships they develop with individuals from a cross section of their community.
